PRIMING-CUP FOR. GASOLENE-ENGINES.

To on whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FLoYn L. SWA BERG,'

a citizen of the United States, residingin the city of Cincinnati, county-of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Priming- Cups for Grasolened lngines, of ,which' the following is a full, clear, and. exact description, reference being had tothe accompanymatically the proper mixture.

Heretofore open mouthed cups. have been mounted on the cylinder with anordinary stop cock controlling the passageway to the cylinder, but in such constructions the cup is apt to collect dust and dirt which enters the cylinder with the charge.

My invention is intended to obviate this objection and it consists of that certain novel construction and arrangement of parts in which thecupis dispensed with and the, handle for the valve is hollowed out to form a cup with a passageway from the hollowed handle through the plug, so that when the handle is in-vertical position, the-valve will be open, and when the handle" is turned down the valve will be closed.

' In thedrawings Figure 1 is a central-vertical sectionj'of my mproved device with the handle turned down and-the valve closed. Fig. '2 is a side elevation of same partlyin section with the handle raised, and

- the valve open. Fig. 3 is; areare1evation of the parts shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on line ca of Fig. 2. 1

1 is the; body or casing of the! primer screw-threaded at its lower end 2' for mounting same 'onthe engine cylinder and provided with a central passage 3 connected with the horizontaltapered seat 4: forthe tapered plug 5, which plugis held in-its Specification of fitters Patent.

seat by the coiled spring 6 engaging between the valve body and the washer 7 held 'in place. by the cotter pin 8 on the plug.

The plug. 5 is provided with the central passage 9 and the port: 10. The. outer end of the plug is screw threaded at 11,.to receive the screw threaded boss 12 of the plug handle 13. W

The handle 13 is hollowed out at 14 to form a receptacle, and a passageway 15'is drilled into the passageway 9 in the plug,

and in order to secure the handle on the plug a tool is passed through the opening 15 and the outer end of the screw threaded portion of tlo plug upset into the notch 16,

opposite the opening 15. handle can be In this way the valve .is closed the handle will be turned down as shown in Fig. 1. When the handle is raised into verticalposition the port 10 in the plug will be brought to register with] the opening 8, and the valve will be open.

so that any priming charge will be discharged into the cylinder. 7 While I -have illustrated my invention as applied to a valve casing which is intended to bevertically mounted, itwill be underread-ily and easily secured to stood, of course, that by providing a casing with a screw threaded end turned at right angles to the body of the casing-,the" ,device can be mounted in. the side or As soon as the valve is closed the recess 14: in the handle will be turned downso that itwill not gather dust and dirt.

Havingthus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
